Ring Envy: What Texans fans said - 1/14/13

A great win by the Patriots as they advance to the AFC Championship game. The Texans fans were obviously really disappointed. While they felt they got some unfair calls by the refs, they mostly blamed Matt Schaub. Having an average quarterback must be a tough go in the NFL, it's something Patriots fans should not take for granted with Tom Brady in New England. Anyway, enjoy the comments as the Patriots move on to face the Ravens at Gillette next week.

Top Three:

Manning almost slipped on Watt's huge spit wad at midfield there.

Dear Texans , the Pats play the 2013 version of the game . Take off the granny panties and put on the thong .
The Pats have so many damn weapons. I just wish we had a competent #2 WR

Player of the Game (Matt Schaub):
Schaub's wearing clown shoes.

Why does Matt Schuab still have a FCU KING JOB!?!?

end of first, 16 quarters and counting without a Schaub TD pass

Remember when Schaub was considered "accurate"? lol

When you have Schaub as your qb you are never out of the game...sarcasm off.

Only accurate pass by Schaub today ... right to the LB.

I hate schaub. I really do.

Time to put in TJ Yates methinks...

someone tell our guys we have to throw the ball past the 1st down marker on 3rd down if we want to win

I coulda sworn i saw Schaub with a shovel out there digging us a bigger hole

it will be really hard beating the pats and schaub at the same time

I see Schaub has a new tactic. The fake fumble.

Schaub is the master of throwing it to the sidelines.

Tebow has won as many playoff games as Schaub ...

WOW Schaub didn't throw the ball outta bounds when he scrambled out of the pocket!?!?!

Full Slate:

Texans are going to win. I've been feeling it all week.

I'm soo ready to get this game going. Let's go TEXANS!

At least it is not the late game. New England is very beatable and I am sick of the espn talking heads riding on the bandwagon. Texans have talent they are not some lucky team here folks.

Something has happened within me the last couple days. I wholeheartedly believe the Texans will show up in a big way today and get the job done.

haha was talking about the patriots faithful but i hear ya. I am actually 100% confident we will win, dont ask me why but i feel really really good.

Nervous as all hell about this game. Praying the guys have their mojo back after beating the Bengals.

I want Watt to spit out Tom Brady's face.

I'm shaking I'm so nervous. Unbelievable.

Oh sweet mother of monkey that's the great way to start....

Is that the first really good special teams play all year?

Why does Jim Nance repeatedly stare at Phil Simms' junk?

Gonna be an easy field goal from here...
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Manning almost slipped on Watt's huge spit wad at midfield there.

Omfg.
Elation to ****ing fury. That is absolute criminal. ****ing criminal.

Unreal.
Gifted a TD, and cannot convert. SMH.

Wide open AJ and Casey drops a ****ing pass. Gdamnit.

the negative.......no touchdown
the positive.....it could have been a pick, next time, it WILL be a TD

Mouth is dry.
Breathing is hectic.
This drive will determine the flow of the game.

I ****ing hate field goals

Reminiscent of last year versus Baltimore. On the road, score three first, force three and out..... THEN JACOBY.

Why does Matt Schuab still have a FCU KING JOB!?!?

Schaub's wearing clown shoes.

Yeah, we don't need to try and run it towards Wilfork all game. Tried that last time

Typical Schaub 3rd down throw

I just hope Kubes doesn't try to abandon the run game completely. Let Foster have the ball in the direction Wilfork isn't, and lets see what happens.

I'm still not able to shake that feeling every time the Patriots get the ball.
It'll be there for me ALL DAY.
They can explode at any moment.

Dear Matt , you have to throw to the other guys . I assume you throw to AJ when he's covered ... Well ... Spread it around .

So ban me. I don't care. The secret to being a healthy Houston sports fan is to keep your expectations tempered. I have no expectation of the Texans winning today. Therefore, if they do win, I'm in the bonus.

okay, I did NOT like seeing Ruud covering Gronk.

Lol nice drop, Welker.

Oh jesus that wouldve been a big gain for Welker.

But seriously guys, our lack of pass rush besides the play action sack has been horrible. Eventually Brady is going to tear it up if our rush doesn't get there. Welker won't drop them all.

Woodhead and Gronk both hurt and questionable, and we're managing to lay hits on Brady. These are good signs.

Did Schaumburg even look on the 2nd down pass

Schaub is garbage. I have been on his side for a while but I just can't handle it anymore...draft a young, scrambling qb and try to get lucky like Seattle

Pretty Tom has found his carving knife.

And there it is.
There's the seasoned Patriots offense we all know about.

Typical ********* Patriots with these no name running backs.
Great defense, guys.

I mean come on, the play before the put Vereen out wide right and Reed went over there with Manning over the top. So we're double covering a RB? Doesn't seem prepared to me.

I hate the Patriots. No other team I hate more.

Dear Texans , the Pats play the 2013 version of the game . Take off the granny panties and put on the thong .

patrios know if you stop arian the is no chance schaub can putthe team on his back.

end of first, 16 quarters and counting without a Schaub TD pass

Remember when Schaub was considered "accurate"? lol

I don't understand why we keep running straight at Wilfork? Trying to keep them playing the inside run to open up the passing game? I don't like it even if there is a reason.

If it's 3rd and more than 5, might as well assume we're gonna punt. We're a 2 down team. We're a one down team if we run up the middle for a yard on first down. So basically we have 2nd down to get a first down.

Best hope is an interception for TD. How many would like to see Watt return a swatt for score?

seriously its just insanity.
doesnt kubiak know that vince wilfork is defensive tackle and arguably the best in the nfl?
yet this moron keeps running up the middle.
how about some edge/tackle runs?
how about a half back toss?
how about changing it up and giving ben tate a chance?
its just stupid and i feel so hopeless.

Welker is AFRAID of Kjax.

We look like we're slowing down. I think Brady is about to break the game wide open.

Brady seems to be looking at Welker a lot... and he looks open a lot of the times.

Our only chance is bad throws and dropped passses
Welker is open EVERY single time

Sure, don't chuck /Wes Welker at the line, why bother, he's no threat.

we have no pass rush

Put a ****ing MAN on Welker the whole game.
We are one game away from hosting the AFCC game and we are blowing it.

Freaking no name back is killing us

This is ridiculous... Who is Ridley, Vereem

**** this team

Horrible tackling. Are you kidding me. Wade sucks vs. Brady. Got smoked for combined 90 points in 2 games against him.

Hate to jinx it, but Brady has had some bad throws this game - I think that's what's keeping us in it...

Vereen is Kevin Faulk.
I ****ing hate Kevin Faulk.

yup, one more field goal and i'm switching the channel to the knitting channel.

its amazing how we as fans lack so much confidence in an offense that has 6 pro bowlers.
how could an offense with 6 pro bowlers be so unreliable?

someone tell our guys we have to throw the ball past the 1st down marker on 3rd down if we want to win

Time to put in TJ Yates methinks...

I'm noticing a trend with Gary.

**** up with dumb play calls on 1st and 2nd down...then call a pass play where the defense wisely covers everything past the first down marker and obviously lets us catch the ONE route that we always run 8 yards in front of the marker.

This is why I have said that Gary Kubiak and this offense is done. We're predictable, we rarely go deep, and there is really REALLY "WTF?" play calling at all the wrong times....most always near midfield and into the RZ too.

This is so painful to watch. We're one game away from hosting the AFCC game.

ONE GAME.

And we look like we're playing the 4th preseason game out there. Again.

we EASILY have the worst offense left in the playoffs... easily

They are blitzing us on every single 3rd and long pass play folks, schaub has to get rid of the ball fast which is y he's throwing short..there's no time...how do u guys not see this? Bunches of idiotic comments in here

NE has figured out we have no check down asset (Welker)..
They blitz and we cant pick it up..They force us to check down to a slow receiver who is immediately tackled.

Can someone NOT wearing a Patriot on his head (OTHER THAN Andre Johnson) PLEASE catch a damn football?

Again, Welker pisses his pants every time he's matched up with KJax.

Our 3rd down offense SUCKS
Our 3rd down defense SUCKS

Put JOSEPH on WELKER PLEASE

The Patriots make plays and we don't.

Well that's game
**** you Kubiak, I hope you die!

Welker isn't aj green and dalton isn't Brady

Welp.... Time to open it up. Gotta rely more on Schaub, who has yet to make his ********* Throw of the Game.

It's over. We just can't play against Brady and their no name RBs

Patriots make it look like we have 2 less on D and 2 less on O

Wow, where is the fight?
Is our offense going to cowher like a bunch of girls?
My God.....our offense our coaching staff sucks...........

Average qb vs greatness

Did someone just give Foster some koolaid?

We need those Segways to make a lane for Foster here so we can score a TD.

Touch-f-ing-down

Doesn't matter. Brady will throw a screen pass which will go for 40 yards and the Vereen will moonwalk into the end zone.

Hey, nothing wrong with laying a little smack on Brady before halftime

Karl Malone would have been proud of that flop by the NE punter.

Sorry to bring this thread into the gutter, but I am almost orgasmic watching watching a Kubiak team go for it with 30 second to go until half time.
Come on!

Fan-damn-tastic kick by Graham!

We need Trindon Holliday to take one to the house for us...
...oh wait...

Jeremy Lundblad ‏@JLundbladESPN
#Patriots are 11-0 all-time at home when leading at halftime of playoff games
Who cares?? We'll break this!

When Brady and Welker are gone, this offense is going to be mortal again.

Is it me or does New England get away with a lot of illegal picks?

Kareem Jackson...the only Texans defender who can stop a screen pass and he was quadruple teamed.

Obviously, Wade has not made any adjustments.

No name RB again.. That's a joke

"Great job defense and Phillips on making those critical halftime adjustments."
-Pats fans

The Pats have so many damn weapons. I just wish we had a competent #2 WR

Well, if they can run over our DBs, then we need to chuck them for the first five yds every play. Brady keeps getting to throw to guys with 8+ yds separation off the line.

Brady's not even playing that well, yet they have 24 points

Wow.... guess they want to make it an entertaining game because that was a fumble haha

I love these refs....

When you have Schaub as your qb you are never out of the game...sarcasm off.

3rd and five and that ***** just gets scared and throws the ball away .... ****ing Matt!

No costly errors by Pats today. Nothing we can use. Ugh.

phil simms is even saying it.
schaub has wide open recievers all over the field and schaub just doesnt have the play making skills once the pocket crumbles.
i mean who the heck was he throwing it to that last play?
you're not even giving your team a chance.

See... even Brady checks down.
except he does it on FIRST DOWN...

I see Schaub has a new tactic. The fake fumble.

It depresses the hell out of me that we're stuck with this qb and head coach.

Man, Aquib talib is a high class clown

And there it is. What we've been expecting for 2 quarters now.

Only accurate pass by Schaub today ... right to the LB.

I hate schaub. I really do.

OMG, can we release MS after the game...........don't care about the extension.......anything is better than MS

NE D is luck. They are awful...

I$HT like that interception...is why Schaub was Dog-boy's BACKUP....for the first part of his career. Let's return him to being one.

I coulda sworn i saw Schaub with a shovel out there digging us a bigger hole

it will be really hard beating the pats and schaub at the same time

Freaking no huddle is killing us

Always unprepared for the damn play!

Wow, getting ugly now. Defense not set for at least Fourth time today.

I really don't even know what to say

It started when Matt put on his uniform ...

No name running back strikes again

Brady's release is so quick....

Far as I'm concerned the game just ended. I like to watch the train hit the car just like everybody else but I see nothing positive about sticking around to see the guys from the morgue scrap the occupants out of the vehicle.

They got just as far into the playoffs as Gary and Matt could get them. Turns out that's no farther than Gary and Yates could get them.

Why do you keep running at wilfork??!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Why????

Next on 60 minutes....

"How long can a Texans fan hold his breath? And how deep can a team dive into the skull crushing depths of the NFL ocean? We'll talk to experts to find out."

Sometimes I think all we need to do is just copy New England's play calling and scheme...you know, do whatever it is that they're doing...hurry-ups, screens, man coverage--it seemes to be working.

The Patriots move with more urgency with a freaking lead then we do when we're losing. Can we even throw it deep to stretch a defense? They are just sitting on our routes *sighs*

Schaub is the master of throwing it to the sidelines.

Dennard is a punk.

schaub is hearing footsteps before the snap. hell he hears them in the huddle. somebody lend the guy a pair.

Matt you suck sincerly suck.

Schaubs craps himself for a 3rd time this half and screws us

So, the Patriots go more aggressive than the team down 18.

The patriots extended all of our hopes by 30 minutes. Instead of blowing us out in the first half they waited until the second.

I hope Baltimore beats the Patriots.

Alright, 18 more & we've got a game.

I guess this is the Texans ceiling as is

.Lol, Barwin piles on and says "Looky at me!!! I madez a tackle!"

Why is it offensive pass interference now with the Patriots up big? But earlier in the game Welker pushed off for a big play and no call when the game was anybody's game.

Belichick will exchange yards for clock at this point.

You team d is not good it is Houston choked. Ravens will kill you guys.

At this point I'm hoping Belichick keeps the pedal on the gas and puts up 50 points on the Texans. That'll embarrass them for sure and put the pressure on McNair to do something this off season. He has got to realize that Kubiak is not good enough and the players we have are not good enough. I honestly don't think playing this game at home and with Cushing would've changed our fortunes. There needs to be a change in philosophy within the organization. But I don't see it happening because Texans fans will keep giving this regime chances until the bottom completely falls off and of course the team makes too much money for McNair to really care about making serious changes.

Josh McDaniel is owning Gary Kubiak right now and Josh .... drafted Tim in the 1st.

Just sayin ...

Agreed. NE has given us every opportunity to win this game and so far we've shat the bed. Baltimore is on a mission.

aw man, Posey was having a great game too..... wtf happened?

Tebow has won as many playoff games as Schaub ...

I like it.... down by 10 all we need is a TD & a field goal to tie.

WOW Schaub didn't throw the ball outta bounds when he scrambled out of the pocket!?!?!

Gary n kubiak need to get in a car accident and end there lives

31 teams get that onsides kick. Sadly, there are 32 teams.

With our defense, Brandon Lloyd play like Jerry Rice....

Dropped passes, dropped onside kick, holding call on 3rd down. Just killed ourselves with mistakes.

But with that, there is the idea too that the Patriots have been bending, bending, and playing sort of prevent against us.....they did this to us last time, too, laying off and letting us burn clock.

Trying to control the game was a better plan than letting Schaub sling it around. Schaub looks good when facing an inferior defense OR when facing a prevent defense. That's what average QBs do: Rack up stats and then the Stat Junkies say "But Schaub has like one billion yards with THIS offense!"
